Will You Love Me Tomorrow?
Carole King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Tonight, with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night (when the night)
Meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Carole King's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" is a timeless classic that explores the fear of the uncertainty of love. The song is a plea from a woman who has given herself completely to a man, and she is unsure if he will still love her the next day. Throughout the song, she wonders if their love is real or just a momentary infatuation. She craves reassurance that their relationship will last, and that he will keep his promises.
The opening lines, "Tonight, you're mine, completely / You give your love so sweetly," set the mood of the song. The woman is swept up in the passion and romance of the moment, but she is also aware that it may not last. She questions whether the love that they share will stand the test of time, or whether it is just a fleeting pleasure.
As the song progresses, the woman becomes more and more unsure of her lover's intentions. She fears being left heartbroken after the night passes and the harsh light of the morning sun arrives. At the end of the song, the woman implores her lover to tell her if his love is true, so that she can have the peace of mind she craves.
Overall, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" is a deeply emotional song that explores the bittersweet nature of love. It is a poignant reminder of the uncertainty that comes with opening yourself up to another person, and the fear of being left alone.

Carole King was my mom’s all time favorite singer. Her Tapestry album is just so amazing and when I listen to it, it’s like I know my mom is watching over me from heaven.
